The North American Catholic Programming Education Foundation (NACEPF) and Mobile Beacon submitted comments on January 29, 2024, in response to the Federal Communications Commission in the Matter of Addressing the Homework Gap through the E-Rate Program.
NACEPF and Mobile Beacon strongly support the NPRM’s proposal to make E-Rate funding available for off-premises connectivity for students and library patrons. This will provide a valuable new tool to close the Homework Gap for students and close the digital divide for students, teachers, and library patrons who do not have access to the internet.
